On February
7, 2008, the
United States Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) announced that eLoran is adopted as the national backup system
to GPS for position, navigation, and timing. Click

Release

That announcement was not followed by action to deploy eLoran in the U.S.

Since the 2008 release, the ILA has
been encouraging the DHS to follow up the promise of deployment and operation
of eLoran as a GPS alternative nav system. Our cause was joined by
the Resilient Navigation
and Timing Foundation, and others.

Meanwhile,
e-Loran continues to be of interest, and is in operation on other parts
of the world.

The Enhanced
Loran (eLoran) Definition Document was developed in 2006 at the United States
Coast Guard Navigation Center by an international team of authors and was
published by the ILA in 2007. Click here for the Enhanced Loran (eloran)
Definition Document.
